Getting Warm(er)…

I confess that warming-up has never been something I’ve really enjoyed. I like doing the work I’ve planned and checking those items off as I go. Warming up has always been an obstacle for me… to the point that I’ve nearly missed workouts because I procrastinated so much on getting started with my warm-up. So, […]

A Few Words From A Fan Favourite : Dawny

Everyone knows Dawny! She didn’t take long to dive right into our community and become an important member of Sublime.

I’m Back! . Yes I have returned from my vision quest. I have seen many things, I’ve changed. Oh the things I have seen! The world is a deep, dark and scary place. A much darker Kyle has returned to Sublime. No more smiles and “how’s it goings?”…. No I can’t be that guy anymore. […]
